My Life is a Comic Act...

Giggling is all I can do when I think about this little episode!!

After a grueling hour and 15 minutes of scaling my daddy's teeth I finally get a scale check... Not too bad, only a few spots, so I finish him just as time is running out. As I'm toothbrush polishing (because he made the good choice and decided not to remove any enamel :)) my kind instructor came over to me to see if there was anything she could do to help me finish in time...

"Alyse is there anything I can do to help you finish?"
"Oh YES! Actually, if you could just get some Varnish Fluoride out of my drawer that would be awesome!"
"Okay here you are... this one even has an applicator in the package!"
"Thanks!"
"Oh and you might need to stir that to get it to the consistency you'd like it to be."

Here's me: hurry, stir stir stir, 'hmm that's funny i've never seen red varnish' I think to myself... 'oh and it's cherry flavored.. cool!'

I explained some important things to my dad, and I started slapping it on his teeth. Among the explanation I say a few things as I'm painting on the varnish good and liberally over all gumline surfaces of every tooth... I made sure to get everything! He may have heard,
"Weird, I've never used a Q-tip to apply varnish before..."
"I hope this dries clear and not red..."

I finish, start sitting my dad up in my nifty elevator chair when he looks at me with a concerned face and asks,
"Honey, is this supposed to make my lips numb?"
"uhhh NO!"
I grabbed the package as quickly as possible only to have the label read

"TOPICAL ANESTHETIC"

Long, funny story short, daddy got a good rinse, some actual fluoride on his teeth, along with a good laugh at his crazy daughter who needs to double check all labels from now on... :)
